Unlike Dean, McQueen, already 30 by the time he became a star in The Magnificent Seven, projected a full-grown, outdoor manliness, comfortable riding a stallion, a motorcycle or a race car.

The U.S. is still smarting over French and German opposition to the war in Iraq, and Washington is angry about the European Union's intention to lift an embargo on arms sales to China. (EADS is controlled 30% by Germany's DaimlerChrysler, 30% by SOGEADE--half owned by the French government--and 5% by the Spanish state holding company; 35% is publicly traded.) EADS is also the parent of Airbus, the jetmaker that has been squabbling...
